Bridgestone tyres first made their appearance in 1931 when Shojiro Ishibashi established the Bridgestone Tyre Co. Ltd. in Japan. The company initially manufactured bicycle and motorcycle tyres, but soon expanded its production to include car tyres, truck tyres, aircraft and even aerospace tyres.
Since 1967, Bridgestone has been supplying drivers everywhere with reliable performance tyres – helping them get where they need to go safely and comfortably. Bridgestone is one of the leading tyre manufacturers globally with operations in more than 150 countries. By combining cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship, Bridgestone strives to make customers' journeys smoother than ever before!
In 1967, Bridgestone opened its first United States factory in LaVergne, Tennessee – becoming the first Japanese tyre manufacturer to do so. From there, the company went on to be one of the leading makers of automotive parts for cars around the world. Its products have been used by drivers from all four corners – including professional racers such as NASCAR's Tony Stewart and Indy Car's Dario Franchitti.
Today, Bridgestone is a global leader in tyre technology and innovation. It offers a range of performance tyres designed to give drivers maximum traction, control, and safety – whatever the conditions.
